Nineties crusade July 24, 2008
andy (Cornwall, England UK)
The Crusaders only made one album during the whole of the 90's, and this is it. In fact, this was their last album until 2003's Rural Renewal, (and here we discount the wayne Henderson led 1995-on Jazz Crusaders; not the same band.)
This is a very smooth, soulful offering with a great production and with Marcus Miller, who has much history of working with David Sanborn, at the helm.
The tracks stand repeated listening and all are cool to listen to.
This album leaves behind the slightly brash sound of their 80's stuff and goes for more mellow tones.
Having said that, there are some cracking pure Crusaders moments, including Shake Dance, possibly one of the standouts.
Its one of those CD's that you hear something different in each time you play it.
Buy and enjoy.

By the time Crusaders got round to making this album in 1991, there could be no doubt that their sound was getting smoother, more radio-friendly, if you will. Stix Hooper had left by this time but the two remaining original members; keyboardist Joe Sample and saxophonist Wilton Felder were (and are) so good that they manage to carry it off with flair.
They were assisted on this album by people like Marcus Miller on bass and synth programming, William "Bubba" Bryant on drums, Lenny Castro on percussion and Steve Lukather who gave a barnstorming guitar solo on "Cause We've Ended As Lovers", my overall favourite track on the album. Other favourites include - in love order - "Running Man", "Little Things Mean A Lot" and the title track, "Healing The Wounds". The version of "Maputo" on here is cool and all but the version on the Bob James & David Sanborn album "Double Vision", is 100 times better. IMHO.
The first thing that strikes me about this album every time I play it, is how clean it sounds. Every single instrument sounds distinct and crystal clear. Props to Marcus Miller, who produced it. It's smooth or 'contemporary' jazz but the two principal members of the band play their behinds off on here and it's well worth a listen. I love it so much that it's another in the long line of albums in my collection that are making the vinyl-to-CD transaction.
